Event Coverage: Euronited

Starting a new show or event is never an easy task. With so many other events taking place in our relativley short season it’s nearly impossible to schedule something that is not on the same day as at least one other event.

Never mind choosing a venue, enticing vendors, and getting participants and spectators to come out.

Lord knows I don’t really want to deal with any of that but the crew at Euronited did and did a damn good job with their first event.

The show had a lot of things going for it: first and formost having Burrito Boyz onsite is never a bad idea, and if Burritos were not your thing the Port Credit location offered tons of other local restaurants within walking distance.

There was even a skatepark a stones throw away if anyone wanted to take their bikes and boards off their car and put them to use.

Having cars parked indoors and outdoors was also a nice touch, especially for those who burn in the sun, and Eurnoited was streaming the event on line which is something I have never seen any other local event do.

I was at the event from beging to about mid way through and the turnout was pretty good, with a little more promotion I could see this show getting a lot bigger in the years to come.

Indoor

Though it wasn’t without it’s challenges (ie the entrance) having indoor and outdoor show space is something few shows in the area have.

It did make shooting a little hard though as arena lighting is weird.

Outdoors

Outside seemed to continously be filling with cars even though the roll in was supposed to go until 11 or so. Props to the staff for not turning people away.

Puremb.comI’ve always loved this finish from WorkE46 and Infiniti rolled up a few minutes before I leftI thought this was the only one in Ontario but the owner informed me there are actually 2 more, beautiful fast carThe Fiat 500 now with super aggressive pullThe Fiat had the uncanny ability of attracting modelsI think I have to email these shots to this model actually…Last oneLine up of various VWsAmazingly cleanNow that is some Stretch & PokeAs was this one on ATS Type 5s with vintage luggage on the roof rackDug this shot for whatever reasonI wrote about these wheels awhile back, never thought to see them so close to homeIn addition to being very unique they suit the car very, very wellMy dog Olive however couldn’t care lessPerhaps my favourite GTI of the show…Upon seeing this car my girlfriend said I like this and I don’t know whyGolf with a skateboard as a rack fairingLooks like it has been there for ahwileJustin is in-between wheels at the present timeDark Shark also between wheelsChop Shop Jetta, some of you might remember from the Eurokracy coverageVery nice build in personI just realized I briefly had stickers available in these two colours, should bring that back.Josh came by as wellLove how his car sits aired outTucks a ton of wheelI heard after I left the owner of this car started it up, reved it, then it basically started spewing disturbing amounts of exhaust from the tailpipeHe ended up driving it home despite people urging him otherwise, anyone know the full story?

for anyone interested in the full story of the TT.

Its a 3.2 turbo, owner seemed very ignorant.
Told me that he had to disconnect power to the HPFP at night otherwise the car would be dead in the morning. (parasitic draw?)

Anyways, he plugged the connecters back in with the wrong polarities, Fried the HPFP, Drove to the show with no HPFP.
My guess is that he blew all of (or most of) his ring-lands due to -way to much air and no fuel.

Probably lost a liter of oil out the exhaust when he turned it on at the show to demonstrate.
Then I assume the remainder of the oil left the engine on his way home.

Message to the owner – If you’re reading this my hat goes off to you for being retarded.
